In the never-ending quest to get John Bolton confirmed as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, as opposed to U.N. Ambassador to the United States, or Turtle Bay assistant deputy chief Chamberlainian paper-waver, or one of King Kofi's palm-fronders and towel boys, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist has now pulled out all the stops:

Nearly five years after 9/11, we are well into an epic, generational struggle. A struggle that pits freedom against tyranny ... hope against fear ... democracy against Islamic radicalism. The men and women of our Armed Forces are fighting with heroic resolve ... and they deserve to be supported in their mission by diplomats willing to call evil by its name, able to rally our friends and allies behind the global expansion of freedom and democracy, and unafraid to passionately pursue reform of our dysfunctional international institutions.

That's why we need John Bolton's leadership at the United Nations. Unfortunately, his recess appointment expires in January of 2007 ... so we must act now to confirm him permanently.

This month Senate Republicans will do everything they can to break Democrat obstruction and give John Bolton the fair up-or-down vote that he was denied last year. But they need the grassroots support of conservatives to turn up the heat on the Democrats by flooding their offices with calls in support of Ambassador Bolton and the President's agenda for reforming the waste and incompetence of the United Nations.

So click the link below where all forty-five Democrat Senators' phone numbers are listed and call as many Senators as you are able. We must show our support for John Bolton, a man who isn't afraid to proudly defend America, our foreign policy and our allies in the War on Terror.

Something that the Democrats unquestionably and virulently fear because Bolton is, for them, a symbol, the personification of the Bush Doctrine, everything they hate in a body that resembles an artist's conception of Wilfred Brimley's avuncular nephew.

A year ago the Dems, via their filibuster of Bolton, told President Bush to stick it. Call your Dem senators (as applicable) today and return the favor by demanding that they get out of Big John's way.
